Most durable pool type
These pools are made by digging a hole in the ground, where the plumbing is laid in place. A 3/8-inch steel reinforcing rods is then gridded along the hole’s walls, forming a framework grid. The grid is then sprayed with a heavy coating of gunite – a mixture of sand, cement, and water. The gunite is allowed to sit for about a week before a smooth finish is applied to the rough surface. The finish is usually a mixture of cement and marble sand, but some people use special concrete paints, tiles, or fibreglass finishes.
